2nd South Tacoma Cross Walk

Over the last 6 years, over 20 people have died as a result of homicides in South Tacoma.  For the second year I would like to invite you to join me for a South Tacoma Cross Walk.  I believe that the cross of Christ compels us to pay attention to the victims of violence.  I believe the cross of Christ seeks to end the cause of these deaths.  I believe the cross of Christ brings hope to the places and people affected by these deaths.

Below is a time-line of the walk I will take on Good Friday, March 29th 2013.  Please join me at any or all points for a brief prayer at each place.
